Diffrence between Jim and Miss Warren. Jim is a creatice soul, someone who puts as much passion into one of his songs as a director or novelist puts into their film or book.

Warren on the other hand is nothing but a business womman, who churns songs like a conveyor belt and her imitation of Jim's style is nothing short of plagerism.
